Rock day, as in rock and roll!

Today, and January 8th annually, is known as Rock Day ロックの日, in Japan. It is a date that honors the birthdays of two of the most influential musicians in modern music history: Elvis Presley and David Bowie.

Both Elvis (born 1935) and Bowie (born 1947) share this birthday, January 8th, making the date perfect and ideal for a natural celebration of rock culture and its evolution across generations. Both Elvis and Bowie have passed away, but they continue to inspire  musicians, artists, and fans around the world. 

Whether you’re an Elvis fan, a Bowie devotee, or simply love rock music, January 8 is the perfect day to revisit classic albums, introduce kids to iconic songs, or explore the history of rock’s evolution.
